Retrieving Arabic characters using GetWindowText?

[Ciralia]

I am using Windows XP and Visual C++ and have the Arabic language pack installed so that I can switch from English to Arabic as needed. In my program I have a RichEditCtrl that allows a user to type in text on a single or multiple lines. My problem is, when I try to fetch the text from the RichEditCtrl using GetWindowText I get a "?" for every Arabic character. Here is the code I tried:

CRichEditCtrl* myEditCtrl = GetEdit( CtrlDefiniitions::COMPOSITION_EDIT );

CString myString;
myEditCtrl->GetWindowText(myString);

I also read somewhere that perhaps my language settings were not correct, however, the article I read was 8 years old and I couldn't get the settings to match what they were talking about here: http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=256666

Another method I have tried is to use GetLine instead of GetWindowText, but I am unable to figure out how to get all of the lines from the RichEditCtrl into a single CString object. Here is the code I tried for that:

TCHAR tCharLine[4096];

CRichEditCtrl* myEditCtrl = GetEdit( CtrlDefiniitions::COMPOSITION_EDIT );

\\ This only gives me the first line from the RichEditCtrl, but I want all of the lines!
int nBytesCopied = myEditCtrl->GetLine(0, tCharLine, sizeof(tCharline)/sizeof(tCharLine[0]));

CString myString(tCharLine);

The 2nd code snippet gives me the proper character output but only gives me the first line from the RichEditCtrl . Any ideas/suggestions?
